Summary

Being safe and secure is the key to our deep, inner, confidence, which I believe is essential in helping you feel and live with confidence in all levels of your life. Our minds are amazing, and they are always trying to help us find ways to automate what we are doing, helping us to free up more mental inner space, which is fantastic for things like walking and driving a car, but if our mind starts automating things we don’t want, then we’re in trouble. With our inner minds working for us, it’s important to understand how it works, as sometimes we are inadvertently doing things which are not getting the outcome we are expecting. A massive thing for all of us can be procrastination and putting things off, which is such a limiter in moving forward, but you might not have been aware that it could also be causing anxiety, making the whole situation much worse. I do think one of the easiest things to do, is to put something off, which you might be saying is quite normal, and yes, you're right there. But there are big issues with this; for your inner mind, if there is a totally real and true reason to put something off then there is no problem at all and your mind will accept this, but if you are putting it off because you are uncomfortable or avoidant about doing this, then your mind won’t believe your excuse.
